“Linux has a good range of open source archive
managers, both console based (such as tar) or sporting an
attractive graphical user interface and integrating with a desktop
environment.

“To provide an insight into the quality of software that is
available, we have compiled a list of the 6 archive managers we use
the most on a daily basis. Hopefully, there will be something of
interest here for anyone who wants to backup their data, create new
archives, and decompress files downloaded from the internet.

“Now, let’s explore the 6 archive managers at hand. For each
title we have compiled its own portal page, a full description with
an in-depth analysis of its features, screenshots, together with
links to relevant resources and reviews.”
